MaximaPortable has two applications connected by a socket: maxima.exe and the wxmaxima.exe GUI. When the portable launches in Windows XP I get the following popup:
Windows Security Alert
To help protect your computer, Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program.
Your computer administrator can unblock this program for you.
Name: wxMaxima
Publisher: Unknown
[ ] For this program, don't show this message again
[OK]
---
Windows Firewall has blocked this program from accepting connections from the
Internet or a network. If you recognize the program or trust the publisher, you can
unblock it. When should I unblock a program?
The application actually works fine with the outside connections blocked; it really should be run in this manner. How can I suppress this warning when launching the portable app? There must be an NSIS script to change this temporarily, effectively checking the checkbox. Any pointers out there?
